Music

All photos featured here were taken with a Canon Rebel T2i. Many were either shot with my kit lens or my 50mm lens.

I have spent the last two years blogging and photographing many Northeast Ohio bands. The genres range and they are in no particular order. I just wanted to highlight some of the best and my favorites.

"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent."

-Victor Hugo

Nature

I consider myself a wanderer, a traveler. I feel more like myself when I'm hiking a mountain and playing in the ocean. There's something about connecting with something bigger than myself that sends my heart racing.

"There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more."

- Lord Byron

Food

Eating and cooking is right up there with art, music, and nature for me. The ability to create, taste, touch something that sustains my physical form leaves me in awe.

"Food, in the end, in our own tradition, is something holy. It's not about nutrients and calories. It's about sharing. It's about honesty. It's about identity."

Street

Life is so full of magic and beauty that I can't help but capture it. These are a compilation of street photos that really caught my eye. Some are from my local area and some are from my recent travels.

Weddings

Weddings are such beautiful occasions. People come together to dance, eat, and celebrate. I love capturing such joy.

Instagram

I see beauty in everything, so I'm always snapping photos of my life.

This gallery features a wide variety of photos taken with either my iPhone 4s or iPhone 6 Plus. I wanted to show that you don't need an expensive DSLR to get good quality photos.

"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams."

- Ashley Smith

Fashion

This is a compilation of runway photos that I took during the 2015 Cascade the Runway fashion show.
